Mark 10:36 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:36

And he said unto them
And also to their mother, and to them by her, what

would ye that I should do for you?
Christ insists upon their telling him the particular thing they wanted to have done for them, before he would give them any promise, though he knew very well what it was they were desirous of.

Mark 10:36 In-Context

34 καὶ ἐμπαίξουσιν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐμπτύσουσιν αὐτῷ καὶ μαστιγώσουσιν αὐτὸν ⸃ καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν, καὶ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ⸃ ἀναστήσεται.

35 Καὶ προσπορεύονται αὐτῷ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης οἱ υἱοὶ Ζεβεδαίου λέγοντες αὐτῷ · Διδάσκαλε, θέλομεν ἵνα ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσωμέν σε ποιήσῃς ἡμῖν.

36 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Τί θέλετε ποιήσω ὑμῖν;

37 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ · Δὸς ἡμῖν ἵνα εἷς σου ἐκ δεξιῶν ⸃ καὶ εἷς ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καθίσωμεν ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου.

38 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε · δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω, ἢ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι;
